About
Silvia Silleresi is a leading voice at the intersection of developmental psycholinguistics and assistive technology, specializing in interventions for children with language impairments, including Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most influential work pioneers the integration of socially assistive robots into speech-language therapy, demonstrating how human-robot interaction can enhance engagement and therapeutic outcomes for young patients. In her highly cited 2023 study (33 citations), she provided empirical evidence for the efficacy of robot-mediated therapy, while her foundational 2021 paper (26 citations) introduced a psycholinguistic-driven design framework for technology-based therapeutic activities. By systematically identifying critical barriers in traditional interventions and proposing scalable, evidence-based design patterns, Silleresi has bridged the gap between clinical practice and human-robot interaction research. Her work is not only shaping the future of pediatric speech therapy but also setting methodological standards for the ethical and effective deployment of assistive technologies in clinical settings.
